BROWNIES: In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add syrup and flour; mix well. Stir in nuts. Pour into a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 180ºC or 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, for icing, combine sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until chips are melted (mixture will be thin). Immediately pour over brownies. Cool completely before cutting. Note: If cooking for two, freeze brownies in an airtight container and thaw as needed. Posted by: Debbie Carlson ~ Cooking Echo
